Original application filed March 21, 919, eiial No. 284,154. Divided and this application led May 2U,

` 1919. serial no. 298,479.

To all whom it may concern: i

Be it linoivn that l, VILLIAM JoHN P1-I1L- mrs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county `oif Kings and rState oi Nevv- York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in` Bottle- Snpports, ot which the following is a full,

clear, and exact specification.

rlhis invention relates to supports for attaching receptacles, suoli as babies bottles, to a crib or carriage in position for use, and it has for its object to provide improved means ier adjustably fastening such a re'- ceptacle or bottle to a iixture so that the baby can taire the contents Without the necessity of seine person remaining on hand to hold said receptacle or bottle. Other objects Will appear as the description proceeds.

rlhe invention Will be rst hereinafter described in connection with the accompanying drawings, and then more specifically deiined in the claims at the end oi the de scription. y y y `lin the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters' are used to designate corresponding parts throughout the several vievvs:

Figure l is an elevation of the bottle receptacle with the cover in place and showingf` the attaching clamp.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the receptacle, shovving the bottle therein, and the cavity in the cover Jfor holding a nipple.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged elevation oi the supporting bracket which is adjustable along the receptacle. Y

Fig. 4 is a' cross section through the middle portion of the receptacle, on the line `Vli-Vl[ of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a section on the line VIL-VII of Fig. 5, and

Fig. 6 is a section on the line VIII-VIII of Fig. 5.

'lihe receptacle 1 is preferably made substantially as illustrated in my pending application Jfor bottle holder, Ser. No. 284,154, led March 21, 1919, of which this application is a division. Said receptacle is cylindrical to conform to the prevailing style of babys nursing bottle, and a cover 2 is :Formed to correspond. The receptacle is composed of outer and inner casings 3 and 4 which may be of papier mch or other suitable material, and which are spaced.

apart by one or more rings 5 so as to `li'orin an air space between said casings. The bots toms of the casings are separated by crossed ribs G. Within the innerI casing is a layer oi felt S, and the mouth oi? the receptacle may be nished oil' With a ring 'l' covering the air space between the inner and outer casings and the upper edge cil the ielt lining.

The cover also comprises innerI and outer casings l0 and 11 spaced apart by one or more rings 12, and has a layer ci telt 14. The lower edge ot the cover may be iinished oil" by a rino; 13 covering the air space between the inner and outer casings and the felt layer. The outer casing 10 extends doivn half an inch or so below the ring 13 and is designed to iit snugly over the upper edge `portion ci the receptacle `1, as shown in Fig. 2. ln the top oi the cover there is formed a tray 15 in which one or more nipples 19 maybe conveniently stored. A snap closure 16 is hinged at 17 to the cover ior closing the tray or storage space l5, and said hinge is preferably equipped with a spring 18 for normally holding the closure shut.

The receptacle l is adapted to hold a babys nursing bottle 9 and maintain the original temperature oi the contents While being carried around, so that when the times arrive for feeding the baby the inillr will still be Warm. The provision oi the tray or storage space for the nipples in the cover is oi great convenience for keeping said nipples clean and always at hand when needed.

For attaching the receptacle to a carriage or crib, or other fixture (not shoivn), either when in use or when not in use, an adjustable clamp is provided. Said clamp comprises a plate 22 having a pair oi interlocking members 2l and 3l engaging in a slotted plate 20 suitably secured to the inner surface of the outer casing 3 oi the receptacle so as to extend longitudinally ot the same Jfor a considerable distance, the slot in the plate 20 registering with a similar slot in said casing, as shown in Fig. 5. rlhe plate 22 has a rotatably adjustable disk 23 mounted thereon, and from said disk there extend a pair of spring arms 24 hinged to the disk at 25 and each carrying a clamping bolt 26 having a concave engaging end piece 28. The tivo arms 24 are hinged in line vvith each other" so that they may be swung together to as lift sume different positions with respect to the plate 22 and disk 23 Without changin their relative positions to each other. The inges may have sufficient frictional contact between their members to maintain the arms in any position to which they may be set.

' The bolts 26 may be adjusted to engage a .of adjustments for holding the receptacle at any desired angle or position on the carriage, crib, or other supporting means. The plate 22 is held :Erictionally in set position in the slotted strip 20, and to increasel this rictional contact the interlocking members 21 and 31 are spaced at a distance apart, the latter member being preferably carried by Aa depending tongue 29 at the lower edge of the plate and having a reduced neck 30 to Apass through the slotted strip VWhile the lateral edges of the tongue engage the margins of the slot, as at 32 in Fig. 5, and have a clamping action thereon.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is l. The combination with a receptacle of the character described, of a plate adjustable longitudinally of the receptacle, a disk adjustable rotatably on the plate, and clamping arms hinged on said disk.

2. The combination with a receptacle of the character described, of a plate adjustable longitudinally of the receptacle, a disk rotatably mounted on the plate, and a pair of clamping arms hinged to the disk, the hinges of said arms being in line With each other for the purpose speciiied.

3. The combination with a receptacle of' the character described, of a plate adjustable longitudinally of the receptacle, a disk rotatably mounted on the plate, a pair of spring clamping arms on the disk, and clamping bolts adjustably mounted on the end por tions of said arms.

4. The combination with a receptacle of the character described, of a plate adjustable longitudinally of the receptacle, the latter having a slot, a pair of interlocking members on the plate engaging said slot, one of said members depending from the lower edge of the plate and having laterally extending edges to engage the margins of the slot, and clamping means on the plate.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

WILLIAM JOHN PHILLIPS.
